STARRY DOME
continued from page 22 onds-of-arc across. There will be a partial solar eclipse on Feb. 15. It is only visible from Antarctica and southern South America. This is the last eclipse of the first eclipse season of 2018. The second and last eclipse season will be in July and August, but none of the three eclipses that occur during
that period will be visible from the desert Southwest. Enjoy this month’s morning planets and keep watching the sky! An amateur astronomer for more than 45 years, Bert Stevens is co-director of Desert Moon Observatory in Las Cruces.
